Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky) is a young girl, who's mother died when she was very young. Vada lives with her father (Dan Aykroyd), who runs a funeral parlour. It's the summer time and Vada goes on a poetry class held by her school English teacher, who she falls in love with. Vada's best friend is Thomas J (Macaulay Culkin), who hangs out with Vada over the summer and is also allergic to almost everything. When new arrival, Shelly, a makeup expert, is hired by her father to work at the funeral parlour, he begins to fall in love with her, Vada gets really angry and doesn't want anyone, especially Shelly to replace her mother, so she does everything she can to try and break them up.
The acting was great, the story itself is a classic film that really makes you think about life and death. One of the most popular movies of its time when it was released, this movie will probably go down as being a classic dramatic family movie.
